Lincoln, manager of the Veterans Administration for Alaska. The new law: 1.—Reduces substantially the min- imum down payment required on homes priced up to $12,000. 2—Ma eligible for additional home loan guarantees many vet- erans who previously used all or part of their guar entitlement for home, farm and business loans, 3—Revives the direct government loan program for veterans in areas where 4 percent mortgage financ- ing is unavailable from private sources. This last provision of the| law is of particular importance to veterans living in rural and less- populated areas, the VA said. The direct loan program, inally authorized by the Housing Act-of 1950 to continue only until June 20, 1951, is extended to June; 30, 1953. i No adidtional funds are made lable beyond the 150 million dol- | lars originally provided for the pro- | gram, but the new law, by removing the limit on the total of direct| loans which might be made, makes | possible the reuse of the authorized | funds as a revolving fund. Thus, payments made to apply against direct loans and proceeds | from the sale of direct loan mort- | gages to private will gol | orig- | ¢ investors will go| into the fund and become available for new loans. Currently, about 39 million dollars | remains available for the making | of direct loans, the balance of the| 150 million dollars originally pro- | vided.
